Specification of Letters Patent. I

Patented Got. 9, 1917.

Application filed March 26, 1917. Serial No. 157,339.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DAIGORO YAMANISHI, a subject of the Emperor of Japan, residing at Seattle, in the county of King and State of \Vashington, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Neckt1e- Holders, of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to provide 7 an inexpensively constructed and neat ap- The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a perspective view of a collar with my improved tie holder attached to the collar button. Fig. 2 is a similar view of the same and including a necktie in one stage of its being tied. Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 2 with the tie in completed form and held by my holder. Fig. 4k is a perspective view of the holder shown detached.

According to my invention, a tie-holder is constructed of a single piece of spring wire having enlarged extremities 5 which may be of globular or other selected or desired shapes. Centrally of its length said wire is bent or folded to provide a loop 6 to afford two arms, each of which comprises a part 7 extending downwardly to a bend 8, thence forwardly, as at 9, to second bend 10 from which a finger element 11 extends upwardly.

The elements of one arm are arranged with respect to the corresponding elements of the other arm so that the parts 7 will diverge downwardly from the loop, and the finge. elements 11 are turned inwardly as-shown in the views.

The holder is engaged with the shank of the collar button 12 and preferably between the overlapping ends 13, 13 of the collar 14. The necktie is engaged by passing one part,

as at'l5, under the other part 16 and thence between the arms of the holder, as shown in Fig. 2. The other part 15 is thereupon turned down in front of part 16 and through the space between the holder-arms, as clearly shown in Fig. 3, to thereby complete the simulation of a knot.

The arms serve to not only hold such knot in place, but also by reason of the resiliency of the holder material, clasp and maintain the tie-parts in adjustedrrelations.

What I claim, is

1. A necktie holder formed of a single piece of spring wire and formed to provide a central button-engaging loop with two arms depending therefrom and each comprising a downwardly directed element, an element extending forwardly therefrom, and another element extending upwardly from the second named element and terminating in relatively large extremities.

2. A necktie holder formed of a single piece of wire formed to provide a central button-engaging loop with two arms de pending therefrom, said arms being formed to afford downwardly diverging portions in a plane with the loop and two upwardly converging portions in a plane which is in offset relation to the plane of the loop.

Signed at Seattle, \Vashington, this 19th day of March, 1917.
